...steady growth, in England as well as America, of the Roman Catholic Church; though, twenty years ago, few would have expected to see two such anomalies as the Romanists supporting the conservative government in England, and leading the ultra-radical movement in New York. But it has often been the policy of that church to make the means subservient to the end; and we need feel no surprise at finding them on any side in the political Donnybrook fair. Meanwhile, the elections in England seem to have been carried on with as much disturbance as ever disgraced...
CONNECTED with this subject is another; the manner of taking one's meals. Memorial Hall has often been suggested as the place where Commons ought to be, and a writer in our columns has argued that Commons should be made compulsory. But to us the English method, where breakfast could be provided in the room of any student, has always seemed pleasant; of course the arrangement here, quite different from the English, would make it impossible for the College to do such a thing.

Delicate to handle it undoubtedly is, like everything that has to do with the practice or views of a man's associates. Moreover...
...project of turning the present Gymnasium into a swimming-bath is, to say the least, unique. Particulars of the plan, however, are not given, and we are left to conjecture how often the water would be changed and the tank washed out, and whether it would be kept warm in the winter or allowed to freeze up, to serve as a skating rink. It is doubtless true that "Charles River is no longer fit to bathe in, because of the sewage which is discharged into it, and there are no public baths which are accessible to the students...
